Chargers WR Keenan Allen carted off vs. Chiefs

On a brutal night that saw the Chargers fall back to reality in ugly fashion against the Chiefs in Kansas City, they appear to have lost their best wide receiver Keenan Allen for what may be a significant amount of time.

With Los Angeles down by a margin of 30-13, Allen was carted off of the field and into the locker room at Arrowhead Stadium Week 15. His injury was reported to be a back injury by the team, and his return was listed as officially questionable. However, any injury that requires a player to be carted off is sure to raise fan’s concerns.

Allen was one of a slew of players that either remained on the turf for an extended period of time with an injury, or flat didn’t return to the game at all for Los Angeles.

Allen came into Week 15 having posted four consecutive games of 100-plus yards. He also had his jersey retired in the Pro Football Hall of Fame after becoming the first receiver to rack up 10-plus catches and 100-plus yards and one TD in three straight contests Week 13. But finished with just five catches for 54 yards before his injury against a Chiefs secondary that has been poor for most of 2017.
